8 Radio remote control maintenance
The following instructions provide information to safely carry out routine and special mainte-
nance operations for the radio remote control.
They shall be completed by:
- instructions provided by the machine manufacturer
- directions provided by the installer of the radio remote control on the machine
- regulations regarding safety at work and accident prevention in force in the country where
the radio remote control is used.
All fine-tuning, checking and maintenance actions carried out on the radio remote control
shall be verified and recorded by the person in charge of carrying out maintenance on the
machine.
In case of malfunction or damaged parts, disable the system “machine+radio
remote control” until the problem has been completely solved.
Before any maintenance operation, disconnect power supply from the receiv-
ing unit.
After any maintenance operation:
- always make sure that commands sent by the transmitting unit only activate
the corresponding expected operations
- if the transmitting unit has been opened, close it correctly, in order not to en-
danger its protection degree from dust and water: check that the gasket is in-
tact, correctly overlay the two parts of the housing and tighten the screws.
8.1 Routine maintenance
Routine maintenance consists of operations needed to preserve the radio remote control nor-
mal usage conditions, thus implementing fine-tuning, checks, planned replacement actions
that necessarily arise from the normal use of the product.
All given instructions must be followed correctly at each commissioning, that is:
- whenever the radio remote control and/or the machine is installed or assembled
- whenever the machine location/position changes
- after special maintenance.
Routine maintenance carried out as described in this manual is fundamental for using the ra-
dio remote control safely.
Special applications may need more specific routine maintenance actions to be carried out
at different periods (i.e. if the working environment is particularly dirt, in case of heavy appli-
cations or if the system is used very frequently, some maintenance actions may be required
more frequently, depending on the decision of the person in charge for safety in the worksite).
